Bibby Stockholm: Asylum seekers to be returned to migrant barge

Oct 3,2023 10:51 pm

By Jo CouzensBBC News

The Home Office says it has begun notifying asylum seekers they are set to be sent back to a migrant barge off England's South Coast .

In a statement, it confirmed they would be moved back on to the Bibby Stockholm following the vessel completing all necessary Tests .

in August.

They were later removed when the Legionella bacteria, which can cause serious illness, was detected.

The three-storey Bibby Stockholm is berthed in Portland Port, Dorset, and is intended to hold about 500 men while they await the outcome of their asylum applications.

The barge is a flagship part of the government's plan to cut the cost of housing asylum seekers and deter dangerous Channel crossings by migrants.

'No-choice basis'

The group of men were briefly housed on the barge when the bacteria was found in the onboard water system.

The Home Office said The Letters " confirm The Next steps for asylum seekers and reiterate that all asylum accommodation continues to be offered on a no-choice basis".

It added: " Delivering alternative accommodation sites, such as the vessel, is more affordable for taxpayers and more manageable for communities, due to healthcare and catering facilities on site, 24/7 security and the purpose-built safe accommodation they provide. "

In an open letter previously, some of The Men expressed " shock and fear" over The Discovery of Legionella and said they had faced " isolation and loneliness" since being moved off and housed in a hotel.

The Home Office said at The Time it was following all health protocols and advice.
